They say most people fear public speaking. Well, there's a cure for that up in Severna Park. Toastmasters of Severna Park (or Toast of Severna Park) is a local chapter of an international organization that meets twice monthly to help people overcome that fear. We sat down with Geri Cvetic, the club's President, to talk about the club and what it can do for virtually anyone. With COVID, we have become somewhat isolated and a bit introverted. Toastmasters has the tools to help you out in one-on-one conversations or on a stage in front of thousands! Do you freak out when you need to speak in front of people? Have a listen!

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton, the indomitable queen of country at 79, just squashed death rumors with her signature sparkle and sass. On Wednesday, December 24, she posted a lively Instagram video from the Grand Ole Opry recording booth, decked out in full Christmas glam, declaring, "Do I look sick to you? I'm working hard here. I ain't dead yet!" According to AOL reports, this came hours after her sister Frieda sparked panic on Facebook, praying for Dolly who "hasn't been feeling her best lately," though Frieda quickly clarified it was just a minor bug and no cause for alarm. Parton opened up about health hiccups since her husband Carl Dean's death in March—nothing major, she insisted, but enough to prompt treatments near home and the big postponement of her first Las Vegas residency in 32 years. Those six glittering shows at Caesars Palace, originally set for December 2025, are now bumped to September 2026, as confirmed by JamBase, AXS, and Ticketmaster listings.Park buzz hit Dollywood too: Inside the Magic revealed on December 20 that the iconic Dollywood Express steam train shut down indefinitely for unscheduled maintenance amid Smoky Mountain Christmas festivities, a historic ride predating Partons 1986 takeover thats no small biographical footnote for her empire. Meanwhile, her touring musical Dolly Partons Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol is packing houses, with Ticketmaster noting a show today in Lexington, Kentucky, and fresh gigs lined up in Clearwater and Huntsville.Parton also got teary sharing a poignant Christmas memory on Movieguide, recalling giving her grab-bag gift to her self-sacrificing mama back in poor East Tennessee days, vowing to keep that big heart beating. Shes all about family traditions—cookie nights with nieces and nephews on the farm, golf cart joyrides, her lighting up like a sequined Santa. Fans adore her resilience amid these whispers; shell be back dazzling soon, because as she says, God aint through with her yet.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Making the case for a better at home A1C test. Orange Biomed is developing a compact, one-drop, at-home A1C testing device they say could make frequent A1C checks easier and more accessible than ever. They're passionate about closing the gap for people who struggle to get to clinics regularly… and the research they share is compelling: four A1C tests a year can lead to a nearly 4% reduction in A1C levels. We'll talk about why more frequent A1C monitoring matters—even in the era of continuous glucose monitoring—how their new device works, and what early clinical trial results look like.

Orange biomed is developing a compact, one drop device that they say could make frequent A1C checks easier and more accessible. They're sharing research that four A1C tests a year can lead to a nearly 4% reduction in A1C levels, but they say a lot of people can't get to the clinic that much. We'll talk about why this matters, even in the era of CGM, how the device works and what the early clinical trial results look like.   This podcast is not intended as medical advice. If you have those kinds of questions, please contact your healthcare provider.   Welcome to a bonus episode of diabetes connections. I hope your December is going well and that you know somehow you're able to take some time for yourself in the middle of all the holiday rushing around this time of year can be magical and stressful and exhausting and wonderful, and you know, all the things. And it's the same thing over here, super busy getting all this stuff done before the end of the year. Love it. But, you know, getting podcast episodes out, writing all the things we write and planning for next year, as they say, We're staying booked and busy.   But quick behind the scenes here to better explain this episode, I taped this interview way back over the summer during the ADA Scientific Sessions conference. I had some technical problems. I actually thought I lost this interview. There were two interviews that seemed to have gone missing. We're going to air the other one very soon. But thankfully, I do have backups upon backups. So all the info that you're going to hear today is still relevant.   This product, a small A1C test, is still in development. The only dated bit is about their follow up event that took place in August. Orange Biomed was launched in 2021 in South Korea, with its US headquarters in Providence, Rhode Island. Its founders are two Duke University alums, and they're my guests, CEO Yeaseul Park and Co-President Unghyeon Ko, We are also joined by Janice Dru-Bennett. She is a senior advisor at the company. Now, English is not the first language of two of these three speakers. This is a good time to remind you that most podcasting platforms have pretty good transcription services these days, especially Apple, I think they have a fantastic real time transcription service for podcasts that has been impressive to me in how they translate diabetes language. They're getting better at it. But I am also going to put a transcript of the interview in the show notes, which I don't normally do because the podcast services have gotten so good at it, but I think it could be helpful for at least a few of you out there. Okay, here is my conversation from the floor of ADA from the team at Orange biomed.   Yeaseul Park, Janice Drew Bennett and Dr Ko, Welcome to diabetes connections. I can't say live from ADA, because we're taping this to air later, but you're all there. Thank you so much for joining   Yeaseul Park  03:08 me. Yes, thank you. We're   03:10 excited to be here. Oh   Stacey Simms  03:11 my goodness. Can I ask first, how is the trip? I mean, yes, let me ask you. You guys came a long way.   Yeaseul Park  03:17 Yeah, it was 13 hours from Korea. But it's I'm so excited, because this event is really one of the times, and this is actually our third time attending ADA.   Stacey Simms  03:31 That's great. And we have so many questions for you, but Janice, let me ask you, you're there as everybody's setting up at the kind of beginnings of the show. What is it like right now for people who aren't familiar with ADA,   Janice Dru-Bennett  03:42 yes, you can hear the hammers in the background, although, but not on this podcast, but there's a lot of noise and people walking by. We're just setting up this the day before the exhibit hall opens and Dr Cole will be presenting at the Innovation Hub tomorrow, which is where we're sitting right now, with tables of innovators will be showcasing their diabetes innovations, and   Stacey Simms  04:04 there's a lot to get to. Dr Koh, I know you're presenting, but yes, let me ask you, like, what why? I know you said it's your third year, but why is orange biomed at ADA, what is your goal   Yeaseul Park  04:16 for us? ADA, is for a learning experience. As well as a platform to share. We come to see how all those around the world are fighting against diabetes, whether through clinical research, digital tools or technologies or community programs. At the same time, you're so proud to hear what orange biomat is building anytime, and eight months exhausting. That makes diabetes monitoring not accessible, not so many. And this year is especially exciting because Dr ko our co founder of orange buying at the group of speaking at ADA brand new program the innovation Hall.   Stacey Simms  04:58 That's awesome. So Dr Koh, tell me. Little bit about this, the Innovation Hub is pretty cool, but what are you going to be talking about?   Unghyeon Ko  05:05 Yeah, actually, I'm talking about the engineering part. I mean our technology, so our orange biomed, we are trying to solve a simple but a serious problem about the A1C accessibility. So to increase the A1C accessibility. So we are, we are developing at home device to measure the A1C level. So I'm, I'm talking about how difficult to increase the accessibility of A1C, but our technology is handled that difficult problem. So we now he's so agreed. So I'm going to introduce our technology and emphasize the importance of the A1C measurement at home.   Stacey Simms  05:49 Yeah, so A1C, it's interesting. My son was diagnosed at two, and in the pediatric world, you know, they'll just prick a finger generally and have that A1C right away. But my husband lives with type two, and he gets his labs drawn. And then it takes forever. So tell me a little bit before we go further about what you're hoping to do and making this easier for the patient,   Speaker 1  06:10 the frequent monitoring of A1C is so important to prevent the diabetic complications. So the money, so if you there is some so I can say that there is a research that if you measure the A 1d the four times a year, the People's A1C level is decreased like 3.8% but if you measure the A 1d at one per year, Then the A1C level is increased 1.5% so the frequent A1C monitoring is so important to prevent the diabetes complications. But problem is A1C measurement is only available at clinical site at this moment, so most of the A1C monitoring is done by the clinical side. So that's why people are difficult to monitoring A1C, because they have to visit the clinics forever. So is so like four times, or even eight times visit the clinics or hospital is quite difficult, especially in the people living in the far area from the hospital. So that's why the home A1C test is required. So I think that's why the accessibility of the A1C is one of the important things in managing the diabetes complications.   Stacey Simms  07:39 Dr Koh, is there evidence that, I mean more frequent A1C testing, I think would give many people peace of mind, perhaps. But is there evidence that it really does help in your health?   Speaker 1  07:51 Oh, yes, it is actually like from there is the research, like the famous research about the A1C level, like the research name this t and this research proved that the A1C is the one of the strongest predictor of diabetes complication. So A1C is completely related with the risk of diabetes complication. So like keeping A1C on the 7% dramatically lower the risk of diabetes complications. And also, there is another research in UK, the UK PDS study, and that study said they are A1C. Lowering A1C by just 1% can reduce overall mortality by 15% and microvascular complication by 37% so the roaring A1C is the goal of the treatment of the   Yeaseul Park  08:47 diabetes. So   Stacey Simms  08:48 when I think of at home diabetes tests, blood tests, seem like they're they're really sensitive, right? You have to be very careful with things like that, although we do, we did finger sticks at home for years and years. Are there challenges with at home A1C testing that that people like me could mess up,   Yeaseul Park  09:06 sure actually when I was doing pandemic outside system? So it's a new   Yeaseul Park  09:19 box of mustard with five or six needles inside, and we need to collect this blood to sound the left result. But then I really tried to collect the requirement matter blood, which is like it was like bleeding. Oh, it's not just retiring in one block, one drop of block, but it's like you need to try, yeah, many times, not just in one spot, to collapse in the block. And the other way you. Built female in, built a lot more broadly, to store your venous blood, and that's features like discomfort.   Stacey Simms  10:10 Would you mind taking us through your experience with the A1C testing? You were talking about how much blood it took? Yeah.   Yeaseul Park  10:17 So it, it requires many, many drops of blood. So I felt like it's like bleeding, and you make a lot of mess around the table. And so I felt, even though it's it was a topic time it was pandemic. So that's the only option I had at that time, but I wanted to make it simple and easier. And the other types of point of care devices only use a drop of blood still have some limitations, because we all don't want to bleed too much, so sometimes we try to finger stick very small and just squeeze to get enough blood. But if you squeeze to get enough sample volume, that's make your other liquid, like sweats, can also mix with your blood, and that actually affects the accuracy of the testing usually so many point of care devices also not recommend you to squeeze to get enough blood, so that means you need to treat a little too deep to get enough. So we really wanted to make this whole process or simpler and more problem.   Stacey Simms  11:43 Can you share a little bit about what the device looks like, what the patient experience is when they use it?   Speaker 1  11:48 Dr, CO, so our device is a palm size. Is in most like, like self, self poem, so it's a palm size device. So our device has no switch, but there is only a slider in the front of the device. So if you slide that, you can the device is turned on and you can insert the cartridge, and the cartridge is disposable cartridge. So after that, you just collect your blood and dilute it in the collecting tube and drop the sample into the cartridge, then analyze the A1C like automatically. So it's quite similar with the covid by covid test kit. So the covid test kit collect the sample in your nose and mix with the Rickett and drop it right? And it's quite similar.   Stacey Simms  12:45 So do you do a finger stick to put on the cartridge? How much blood to yells? Point, you know? How much blood do you need?   Speaker 1  12:52 Our devices for home use device, so it's quite we use a very different technology, because our device analyze the red blood cell one by one. So actually, we don't need exact unlike like five micro or 10 micro, we don't need the exact sample block. So we just need one drop of blood. So if the one drop is big, or if the one drop is right or small, it's fine for us. So one drop of blood, mix with their sample and drop one drop onto the cartridge. So maybe you can, you can drop one more than one drop, but we recommend one drop. So one drop of blood sample my dinner the rest yesterday pointed out that the skeezing the finger of blood is a problem for other device because, because in our body, there is a body wicked inside your under, under your skin. So if the body wicked is mixed with the blood samples, so it might be a problem because it dilute the blood sample. But our device, we analyze the Red Cross itself. So if it is diabetes, I think so we will find so you just puncture very best, and if you scale it, and it's totally fine for us. So it's, it's one of the good point of our device.   Yeaseul Park  14:20 How long does it take to get the results? It takes like, five minutes. Okay, yeah, and that's all at home. Yeah. Yezel, who do you see using this? Who is this for? Basically, it's for everyone. I think whoever has pre diabetes, diabetes type one, type two, and especially, I think who has limited access to primary care or lab testings. You know, many people who are older, tends to have more, especially the people who has limited access to primary care or lab testings. We believe this device can give more value to them. Yeah, and especially some people who have limited mobility, if they are older, or if they have experienced that amputation or something like that, they cannot go to the hospital by themselves. They need a caregivers to drive them to the hospital for the simple lab testing. But now I think it empowers patients who has that limitation still can take control their health by using this kind of home use device. How accurate   Stacey Simms  15:33 is it? I assume you have studies, and you've done some trials on how on the accuracy?   Yeaseul Park  15:37 Dr, CO, do you want to add that?   Speaker 1  15:40 Oh, yeah. So we are preparing the clinical trial. So the official clinical trials will be done within this year, but so that's our plan. But we we tested our device already using the in in last year. So last year, feasibility studies show that our device is quite similar with other point of care devices, and hopefully because at that time, our device, our especially our cartridge sensor, we just manufacturing our own like our in our lab. So this time, the official clinical trial in in this year, we are going to manufacturing in the factories so it might be more precise. So we hopefully we trying to chase the hospital accurate.   Stacey Simms  16:30 And I have to ask, where more and more people with diabetes are wearing a CGM and looking at time and range. What would you say to people who would tell you, well, we don't really need A1C anymore. We have time and range. Dr Cody, I see you nodding. Go ahead, yeah, yeah.   Speaker 1  16:47 So that's a very important point, but because the timing range is also important, and the CGM is very great technology for diabetes people. But problem is, like the A1C and C GM target different, like the CGM target the hypothesemia, but the A1C targeting the diabetes complications. So like, if you measure the timing range and you can manage your average glucose more nicely, but it might be prevent your hypothenia. But if you want to assess your diabetes management, you might be measure A1C. So if you measure timing range, but you also have to measure the A1C. So A1C is for everyone's and so. And also, the point is, if you don't treat the insulin, or if you don't treat the any medications, then you don't need to actually using the CGM, that's the ADH recommendation. So, but in in that case, you need the A1C as well. So A1C for everyone, and the CGM is for the people who treated the insulin. That's the ADA guide, right? And then,   Stacey Simms  18:12 yes, let me just ask you. You know, you came all this way. As you say, this is your third time at ADA. Trials are starting soon. What's your hope here? Is this something you see in homes of everyone who has any kind of diabetes? What's the big goal for Orange biomed?   Yeaseul Park  18:28 Every time we talk to a day, we can feel what's going on here in diabetes industry. It's a huge maybe first year, I the most frequently hard keyword was aid system. But after that, we now have GLP one, and now we hear more keyword around obesity. So that's a little slightly different trend I can feel. And once you come and join this full sessions, then I can see there's make everyone is making a progress, and we are all together. Want to fight against diabetes in their own way or with their own expertise, whether it's pharmaceutical, whether it's medical device or diabetes, sex, sometimes any other community programs that really support this patient and families, the community, and it's Really this whole atmosphere actually really motivates our team and myself, and we can feel the value. I can really feel this we are doing something valuable to patients and our community, and that's the most great thing, like the greatest thing that I can take when I come back to home with a. After the ADA. And for sure, we want to have opportunity to make voice what we are doing at Orange biomed, and want to deliver this value to the patient and other healthcare professionals. Otherwise, even though we are working hard to make this progress, no one knows, and that makes any changes the world. So that's the important purpose we are coming here. That's great.   Stacey Simms  20:30 Janice, before I let you all go, I know you wanted to talk about an event you've got coming up in Chicago. Can you tell me a little   Janice Dru-Bennett  20:37 bit about that? Yes, we're really excited for Orange biomed to be hosting the first map your health event, a local event here in Chicago, we have done a solving healthcare challenges webinar to announce our map your health campaign, which is, monitor your A1C, monitor your health and then adapt your treatment and prevent chronic disease. And we're actually going to be hosting on August 16, from 10am to 3pm in Chicago at their humble Park, Health Wellness Center, the first local event, inviting all local partners. We'll have some virtual sessions, showcase with yoga or ask the endocrinologist. So we'll have a very exciting agenda that both virtual and on site participants can join in, eat healthy foods. See, see what's in Chicago from a screenings perspective, and really get people motivated to map your health. So hashtag, map your health.

Vi mötte Sebastian Stagh för första gången då han som 12-åring ställde upp vid vårt lopp i Långbro Park. Våra ögon drogs direkt till den lilla pojken som sprang oerhört vackert och fort. Den gången blev det 35.28 och senare samma år slog han Europarekord när han löpte 5000m på 17.10. En talang av sällan skådat slag. Sedan följde några jobbiga år med skador och stor tillväxt och vi såg inte den där lilla talangen blomma ut på riktigt samma sätt som vi anade. Men i år, vid 17 års ålder har Sebastian äntligen kommit ut på andra sidan. Efter att ha fått kontinuitet i löpningen för första gången på många år löpte Sebastian Lidingöloppets fruktade sista 10k på 31.11,  näst snabbast någonsin. Därefter följde ett silver vid terräng-SM i juniorklass och nu förra veckan en mycket fin 28e plats vid Terräng-EM i Portugal. Vi fick ett samtal med Sebastian där han berättade om de jobbiga åren och hur han nu blickar fram för att för första gången kunna förvalta den stora talang vi såg där i Långbro-loopen.  John har styrt bilen mot Skåne och gör sig redo för ett nyårslopp på Köpenhamns gator. Manne fortsätter att rada upp 10-mila veckor och gör även han sig redo för tävling på Nyårsafton.  Vi får också besök av Hattfen som ställer svåra frågor om träning.  Missa inte vår Patreon, veckoprogram med återkoppling för en billig peng (anmäl er via webläsare och inte Patreons App för att slippa 20 kr straffavgift) - https://www.patreon.com/c/Springsnyggt823 God Jul!

THE THEME PARK DUO PODCAST: SUBSCRIBE ON iTUNES, GOOGLE PLAY, STITCHER, iHEART RADIO AND SPOTIFY! We're decking the halls one last time at Six Flags Magic Mountain's Holiday in the Park 2025, and wow… what a ride it's been.

Happy Holidays to all who are celebrating! I'm taking 2 weeks off, but just in case you need something to listen to on a drive, your walk, while you're wrapping presents, or in the kitchen... here's a replay of an episode from March 2023! Stephanie Jae Park grew up on Guam. Her mom is a professional opera singer. Stephanie started performing on Broadway, NYC in the days before Hamilton, when the roles she would be considered for were limited. The musical Hamilton changed all of that!

This was the first email response SHLTMM received from Karina stating, "my mom and I have always been really close. She has always been super supportive of me wanting to pursue music. She always knew along with her late father that I would grow up to be musical because as a baby I would hum and sing songs before I was able to speak. I've been really blessed with great parents who both attend nearly every one of my performances since I first started performing. I'm very lucky to have a very supportive and close family."If truly was effortless speaking with Norma and Karina. Norma shared stories of her mother and father, both Armenian and both very present in her life, especially before and after Karina was born. As I mentioned earlier, Karina was a preemie baby and Norma was bed ridden in the hospital for a number of weeks before her daughter was born. Norma's mother , Karina's grandmother instilled confidence in her daughter and helped her stay strong during the tough times. Again, the pediatric doctor's told Norma that her baby may not make it to certain milestones, yet Norma was confident because of her mother's endless support and wisdom. MANHATTAN SCHOOL OF MUSIC:https://www.msmnyc.edu/livestream/vartanian-2025/CLASSIC LYRICS ARTS:https://www.classiclyricarts.org/karina-vartanian-berkshiresRecent PerformancesBIO:KARINA VARTANIAN is a recent graduate of the Manhattan School of Music, where she earned her Bachelor of Music and received the Josephine C.

The most honest year-end recap happens across a kitchen table with sneakers by the door and game film still fresh in our heads. I sat down with my daughter, Aria, to trace the real story behind her varsity leap: the extra lifts, the OC16 nerves, the bad game that shook her, and the next-day reset that proved her mindset is built for pressure. It's a tour through the grind you don't see on highlight reels—how you hold your energy when you don't start, how you become a better teammate, and how belief sneaks up on you one rep at a time.We also open the lens to school life and growing up in Hawaii. Sophomore year means tougher classes, early college prep, and the noise of high school drama. Aria keeps it simple with an inner circle she trusts, a sense of humor that won't quit, and a clear boundary around what matters. The conversation drifts into travel tournaments in Vegas, Anaheim, and Maui, the joy of Disneyland, and the feeling of being more bonded as a team after a full season together. When she talks about coaches, you hear two styles—strict and structured, calm and player-first—both shaping a competitor who adapts fast.Music ties generations together. Old-school R&B—SZA, Ashanti, Miguel—becomes our common ground, a reminder that songs with depth outlast trends. We look ahead, too: a West Coast volleyball scholarship is the dream, with a return home to Hawaii after college. And we share gratitude—family rides, Starbucks bribes, and all the quiet support that makes the loud wins possible. If you're chasing a goal, this conversation is your nudge: bounce back harder, keep your circle tight, and let consistent work do the talking.If this resonated, follow the show, drop a rating, and share it with someone who needs a push. What goal are you committing to before the new season starts?

Suj and James review another dramatic weekend of football in the Premier League that included a brilliant encounter at St James's Park as Chelsea earned a hard earned point from two down, Liverpool just about getting over the line against 9 man Tottenham, Arsenal staying top for Christmas after victory at Everton, Leeds scoring four against Crystal Palace and Aston Villa maintained their outstanding winning run against Manchester United. A Manchester United for whom Bruno Fernandes was replaced at half time with a hamstring problem, and for owners that's a headache they weren't preparing for. Many owners and non owners will now likely chase the in-demand Hugo Ekitike who scored again, and now looks secure for minutes following a serious looking injury to Alexander Isak. He may even be worth trusting with the armband this week But there's plenty of other assets in demand too, with discussion featuring the likes of Matheus Cunha, Declan Rice and Jarrod Bowen. And there's others who are not, such as Igor Thiago who hasn't registered a shot in Brentford's last two outings against Leeds and hapless Wolves. Plus, coverage of defensive options, enablers, and Suj has been on tilt in FPL, Tottenham just have James fully tilted.

The voice in our head can be an asset at times - but also kind of a jerk at the worst possible moments. And like that one person in the “quiet car” of the train that doesn't seem to understand the rules, it never seems to be quiet when we need it to.A 2014 study identified a self-talk strategy that led to improved performances, and less post-performance shame and rumination.And it doesn't require us to shush the inner critic entirely (whew, because that's really difficult!). It's just a small, simple - yet quirky - tweak that anyone can do.Get all the nerdy details here:How a Small Change in Self-Talk Could Improve Performance Under PressureReferencesKross, E., Bruehlman-Senecal, E., Park, J., Burson, A., Dougherty, A., Shablack, H., Bremner, R., Moser, J., & Ayduk, O.

A slow weave of some of the past year's Field Recordings, from a child playing in the snow to a brass band playing Christmas carols in the street. Father and daughter build a snowman in the backyard, Copenhagen, Denmark on 2nd January 2025 – by Joyce de Badts Cracking the ice underfoot over a frozen puddle, Low Bentham, North Yorkshire, UK in early January 2025 – by Charlotte Petts Ice on Queen's Park Pond, Glasgow, Scotland in January 2025 – by Katie Revell “Recorded using a contact microphone at Queen's Park pond on the Southside of Glasgow, during a cold snap in January. The pond had frozen over (which doesn't happen often), and people were walking and skating on it. One person asked if I was measuring the thickness of the ice. I handed my headphones round a group of kids, and it was fun to watch their reactions to the sci-fi noises…” Snow slowly melting from a bridge next to Ribblehead viaduct, North Yorkshire, UK in early January 2025 – by Charlotte Petts Listening to the river flow as the snow melts into the water from the fields nearby,  River Wenning, Bentham, North Yorkshire, UK in early January 2025 – by Charlotte Petts Tawny Owls voicing the starry dark, the foot of Dartmoor, UK at 5am on 3rd January 2025 – by Kirsteen McNish “I stood on the doorstep to look at the stars because of the ice bright visibility and heard them calling to each other.” Primal scream atop Bernal Hill, San Francisco, USA on 20th January 2025 at 9am – by Kristina Loring “A group of organizers had distributed flyers in our neighborhood for a timely cathartic moment atop the large mountain park that overlooks the city of San Francisco and the bay. It was organized to coincide with the swearing-in of the newest conservative American regime on Inauguration day. But one's rage can't be limited to whoever is in the presidential office. We scream for a litany of injustices—an endless list that cannot be exhausted here. Many rages filled my lungs that day and escaped my mouth in an inarticulate howl. Beneath the rage was a yearning for: Justice for Palestinians everywhere. Justice for trans folks everywhere. Justice for refugees everywhere.” Dead leaves on a silver birch, Stanton Moor, Derbyshire, UK on 5th February 2025 – by Rose de Larrabeiti “I took myself to Derbyshire for a few days in early February. I walked up to Stanton Moor with my dog Rosie (not named by me!) looking for a Bronze Age stone circle called the Nine Ladies. Nearby were silver birches with their dead brown leaves rustling in the wind.” Babble of Ta Ta Creek spring, British Columbia, Canada in early February 2025 – by PJ Howe “Here is a little recording of our local spring. We hiked through 2ft of snow in the -10 temps to the head of our local creek. Due to the deep cold we are in, the ice formations around the spring are spectacular. The quiet babble of the creek makes this such a special place.” Geothermal mud pools in Rotorua, Aotearoa (New Zealand) on 8th February 2025 – by Will Coley Woodpecker in back garden, south-east London, UK on 14th February 2025 – by Cesar Gimeno Lavin “This morning I was delighted to find that, after quite a few months, this woodpecker has returned! Back to the very same tree. I love how the sound echoes around the garden.” ‘Silence' in Doubtful Sound, Aotearoa (New Zealand) on 15th February 2025 – by Will Coley Steam train arriving and then departing, Haworth, West Yorkshire, UK on 17th February 2025 – by Cesar Gimeno Lavin Walking in the dry, squeaky-crunchy snow on Elm Street in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada on 22nd February 2025 – by Laura Nerenberg “The snow was delightfully squeaky and I took every chance I could to stomp around…” The last performance of the world's largest pipe organ, Philadelphia, USA on 22nd March 2025 – by Alex Lewis “Thousands of people gathered on Saturday, March 22nd at Macy's in Philadelphia, PA to hear the last performances of the Wanamaker Organ – possibly the world's largest pipe organ – as the department store marked its final weekend in business. This is an excerpt from the final recital by John Wanamaker Grand Court Organist Peter Richard Conte. My wife gave this piece the unofficial title: ‘an elegy for in-person shopping'.” Squeaky frogs, Watcarrick, near Eskdalemuir, Scotland on 25th March 2025 – by Geoff McQueen ‘Hands Off' March, New York, USA on Saturday 5th April 2025 – by Jon Moskowitz Nightingales at Knepp, Sussex, UK in April 2025 – by Charlotte Petts “…from my camp out at the Knepp estate last week – managed to creep up pretty close to a nightingale singing in the shrubby hedgerows. Absolutely gorgeous to fall asleep to them calling out to each other through the night.” Cows in Los Lagos de Covadonga, Asturias, Spain in May 2025 – by Sarah Kramer and Nina Porzucki  Bells heard through a window, Vilnius, Lithuania in the morning on 26th May 2025 – by Eleanor McDowall Creek bed, Lerderderg State Park on Wurundjeri Country, Australia in May 2025 – by Camilla Hannan Bingo on a roasting Saturday evening in Derbyshire, June 2025 – by Andrew Conroy ‘Little Tibet', Parco nazionale d'Abruzzo, Lazio e Molise, Italy in June 2025 – by Cosmin Sandu River through wood, Boise River, USA on 22nd June 2025 – by Ariana Martinez “This tape was gathered in Boise, Idaho with a contact microphone affixed to a tree root partially submerged in the Boise River.” Dawn chorus, Lopez Island, USA in 2025 – by Joe Harvey-Whyte Primary night watch party after Zohran Mamdani's win, Brooklyn Masonic Temple, New York on Wednesday 26th June 2025 – by Rachel Humphreys Protest after the vote, Westminster, London, UK on 2nd July 2025 – by Eleanor McDowall Ringing the peace bell, Hiroshima, Japan on 14th July 2025 – by Lisa Hack Knossos Palace, Crete, Greece on 17th July 2025 at 11.30am – by Giles Stokoe Pans protest outside Downing Street, London, UK at 6pm on 25th July 2025 “Hundreds gather outside Downing Street banging pots and pans as Israel's blockade continues to cause the starvation of Palestinians in the Gaza strip. 120 people – 80 of them children – have been confirmed dead from famine as of 26th July.

I got lost in the stillness of the day, and watched little heaps tumble from branches when a breeze rattled through.”

Mark Booker | Exodus 24:1-11 | The purpose of God drawing near and making himself known is that we might enjoy fellowship with him. That's the purpose of Exodus and the purpose of the incarnation. The covenant ratification ceremony at Mt. Sinai ends in a shared meal and shows us four essential elements of what life with God entails.

Jahrzehntelang galt Pakistan als sicherer Hafen für Millionen afghanische Flüchtlinge, die vor Krieg und Verfolgung in ihrer Heimat flohen. Damit ist Schluss. Bis Jahresende will Pakistan die Flüchtlinge abschieben. In Afghanistan erwarten sie Armut, Hunger und die radikal-islamistischen Taliban. Mehrafzon Jalili hatte grosse Träume. In Afghanistan studierte die 24-jährige Zahnmedizin. Dann kamen die Taliban, ihr Vater wurde ermordet, die Rest-Familie floh ins Nachbarland Pakistan. Gut vier Jahre später steht wieder alles auf der Kippe. Erst setzten sie die pakistanischen Vermieter auf die Strasse. Dann wurde auch ihr Not-Lager in einem Park in Islamabad mitten in der Nacht von der Polizei gestürmt. Pakistan will bis Jahres-Ende alle afghanischen Flüchtlinge ausschaffen. Darunter auch solche, die vor der Machtübernahme der Taliban für westliche Regierungen oder das Militär gearbeitet haben. In Afghanistan drohen ihnen Folter und Tod. Frauen wie Mehrafzon Jalili dürfen unter den Taliban nicht studieren, nicht arbeiten, nicht einmal singen. «Afghanistan ist wie ein Friedhof geworden», sagt Jalili. Pakistan - politisch instabil, hochverschuldet und vom Militär dominiert - gibt den afghanischen Flüchtlingen pauschal eine Mitschuld an den vielen Terroranschlägen in Pakistan - und bestraft sie. Die Flüchtlinge würden zu Sündenböcken gemacht, kritisieren Menschenrechtsorganisationen. Die internationale Gemeinschaft, die helfen könnte, schaut weg.

If you're a gloom-and-doomer, this isnt' your show. President Trump made history last night and it was as much what he said as it was the way he said it. Stigall has all the highlights of the speech and explains how some of his biggest critics (and not just on the left) wound up being useful dupes to get all eyes on him last night. Fani freaks out in Fulton County as she's forced to face the fleecing of the taxpayers in her fraudulent attempt to take President Trump down over phony charges of election interference. Meanwhile that repulsive Jack Smith is called to Capitol Hill to answer for his unlawful seizure of Congressional phone records, the Mar-a-lago raid, and more. Yael Eckstein visits to explain the charitable mission work of IFCJ - particularly poignant at this time of year and in this particular news cycle. -For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigallFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPodListen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
